I remember it like a vivid dream. I was sitting among the trees, surrounded by a kind of silence that felt almost too heavy to breathe in. I didn't wear anything fancy, just something small, simple, and plain, as though I wanted to blend into the background of nature itself. It was almost as if I was calling out to the void five times in a row, just to wait for an echo that might never arrive. This year, it carried weight. Not just a little pressure, not just the regular heaviness that sneaks into your chest after a bad day, but something so thick that I felt like the CEO of nothing but disappointments.

Imagine having a desk piled high with papers, but every sheet is just another reminder of a promise broken, another dream delayed, another door shut. That was me. My company was heartbreak, and my shareholders were. were all the lost versions of myself. Love? It didn't just escape me, it seemed permanently exiled to some faraway county in the back of my brain,

a county I no longer had the map for. People pointed fingers when I stumbled. They acted like they knew the solution, like if I only listened harder, things would finally click. But the truth? No answers came. Life was supposed to be simpler than this. I pictured it once as a store where you could grab solutions from the shelf, scan them at checkout,

and even use coupons if you wanted to save a little bit of pain. But reality charged full price and the savings I thought I had tucked away. Illusions Always illusions May, a temporary stamp I was my own judge, jury, and executioner. No enemy outside of me could condemn me more heart. than my own thoughts did. May rolled around, and I convinced myself that I had finally found

meaning. That maybe this was the month I would stop spinning, stop losing, stop bleeding out pieces of myself for nothing. But then, like a cruel prank, a hollow point appeared in the middle of it all. It was like a giant ink stamp slamming down across every page of my life, marking them all with the same word, temporary. I tried to fight against it. I told myself I needed order. I needed a system, a rhythm, something consistent to cling to. But instead of finding a steady beat, all I found was noise, everything scattered like papers caught in a sudden wind. I reached out, but every time I caught one, three more slipped away.

Looking at others There was always this idea in my head of what my ideal type of life should look like, people who seemed to move through the world. like their existence was choreographed. Their songs were perfect, their instruments in tune, their shows always flawless. I admired them from afar, almost jealous, almost aching to slip into their stories and steal a chapter. But it didn't take long to realize, you can't copy someone else's music. No matter how hard you try, their instruments won't fit your hands, their voices won't come out of your throat. My choices kept collapsing under their own weight, and every time I tried to show my skills, they felt too small, too brittle, too broken.

Memories and shame. Then, out of nowhere, I'd remember my mom's laugh. The way her voice lifted even when she was scolding me, the warmth hidden even in her frustration. Those memories were beautiful, but they always dragged shadows behind them. thought about shame, the kind that sneaks into your chest late at night and piles itself up until you can barely breathe. Mistakes, one after another, stacked like bricks on my back. Friends didn't always help. Sometimes, they compared me to others, Barbara, Handel, anyone whose name carried the weight of accomplishment. As if I could just suddenly summon their synergy, their brilliance, their power. But me? All I seemed to produce was

silence. An empty stage. A broken mic. Life as an orchestra. Life struck me then as some kind of strange orchestra. Each instrument, religion, science, philosophy, random noise from the streets, blended together, clashing and colliding in ways I couldn't predict. And me? I wasn't the conductor. I wasn't even first chair. I was the awkward kid sitting in the back, fumbling with sheet music that never made sense. I tried to organize it all, my files, my plans, my memories, but they just spilled everywhere like water that wouldn't stay in the glass. Chaos wasn't just around me, it was inside me. Regret, games, and masks. Regret became my unwanted roommate. I thought of

Hops and Wild. Wild and Hopps. The dream team. They're back in Disney's Zootropolis, too. Funny, fucks. This is a make or break assignment. In cinema's November 28th. No snake has set foot in Zutropolis in forever.

Rooms where I was supposed to shine turned into echo chambers of failure. I thought about cameras, imaginary or real, watching me, recording me, like I was stuck on display. Sometimes I even laughed along with the mask I wore, pretending it didn't hurt, pretending the silence wasn't crushing. Faces around me blurred into pale shapes. Words lost their weight. Handel's songs, The Unreachable Heights of Brilliance, became like ghosts haunting me, reminding me of the maximum levels I never touched.

My life It felt like the smouldering tip of a cigarette, burning down faster than I realized, leaving only ashes and a faint smell that lingered in the air before disappearing completely. Brief joy But it wasn't all doom. There were flashes, tiny sparks. Walking through art villages, stumbling across music that felt like freedom, even absurd death races, where adrenaline replaced fear. Those moments reminded me I was alive, even if briefly.

Still, the weight always returned. Questions I couldn't answer. What more is there? What did I miss? What was I supposed to see that I kept overlooking? Every year folded up behind me like too many chrome tabs, cluttered and burning the computer of my brain. The samples I tried to build from life turned to ash in my hands. Failures. Pain. Burgers of heaviness clogging up my chest. Books that were

supposed to lift me only left me dancing alone to songs nobody else could hear. Wandering So I wandered. Restless. Days and nights blurred together. Newspaper headlines. mocked me with their drama. Love affairs etched scars that didn't fade. Blankets couldn't warm me, secrets stayed locked behind lips that refused to open. Even food lost its taste. Sometimes, I wondered if the world itself had gone mad, or maybe it was just me. People and loss partners came and left, like trains that never stayed at the station long enough. Rumors spread, friends drifted further away, and I found myself standing alone in the noise of the city. The market was chaotic, the voice is loud, the promise is empty.

But even then, I carried a little hope in my pocket. A fragile thing, but still alive. I told myself, try again. even just once more. Faith, failures, and restarts. My mind drifted to old stories, even, Noah's sons, endless debates about God and man. Medical tests that promised answers but delivered only new worries. Promises broken.

Failures piling up like snowdrifts. Life was chaos, yes. But chaos didn't care about my complies. Sometimes, it all felt like tanking in a video game, losing on purpose, just to avoid the weight of everyone's expectations. Sometimes it felt like I was just an unfinished song, a remix nobody wanted to play. But I still dreamed. I dreamed of climbing levels higher, of facing final bosses and somehow conquering numbers stacked against me. I dreamed of silver lights, of fire, of very, of very.

music that mixed classical precision with the raw scream of metal. Warnings whispered. Darkness pressed in. Victories slipped away just when I thought I had them. Contradictions. Life is a contradiction. It's laughter and shame. Oh, Amy, my little one.

I ask myself a million questions every day. When will you give me your first smile? How much sleep do you need? How can I help you and your big brother to get along? At the HSE's My Child.I.E and in the free MyChaw books, you'll find the answers you need from doctors, midwives, public health nurses, dietitians and lots of other experts.

Mychild.I.E. expert advice for every step of pregnancy, baby and toddler health. From the HSEe. I'm in the same breath. It's beginnings that already taste like endings. Its promises followed by betrayals every time. Some days, I'd catch myself staring straight into the middle of nothing, asking the hardest question of all. Why am I still here?

And then, a small voice inside whispered back, gentle but firm. Because you must keep going. And so, somehow, I did. The end.
